"I am Shinta Uchiha, a cold and aloof heartthrob—don't approach me, and don't try to be friends with me. It will only annoy me."
Shinta Uchiha introduced himself this way from the podium.
Then, under the teacher's gaze that looked like he was staring at a problem child, he took a seat behind a girl with silvery-white long hair, pale blue empty eyes, and a strangely damp appearance, who went by the name Yuki Tsukishiro.
They were desk neighbors, front and back.
[Congratulations, Host! You have transmigrated to the world of *Naruto Shippuden*!]
[Unlike those useless systems out there, I am a capable one. I've secured a legal identity for you in this world, granted you the Uchiha Stress-Resistant Physique (the same bloodline as the strongest Uchiha), and will personally guide you to defeat all rivals, become the ultimate Uchiha, foil the Otsutsuki's plot, and save humanity!]
[Hehe, as the future peerless powerhouse, how about setting your first goal as dominating the Ninja Academy?]
[Speaking of which, I'll definitely help you awaken the Sharingan! The easiest way to awaken it is to lose your entire family—no problem, I'll just bring over your family from before your transmigration right now!]
[Oh, right, let me use my system authority to check who the final boss is. Is it up to Kaguya Otsutsuki? Or that mysterious Otsutsuki God from *Boruto*? Wait, what? The final boss's name is Yuki Tsukishiro.]
[Wait, this is… no, never mind, don't worry about it. Goodbye, Host. System uninstalling now.]
"So this is the world of Naruto?"
Sitting at his desk, Shinta Uchiha calmly reviewed all the information he'd gathered since arriving in this world.
This world had skyscrapers, smartphones, and trains. It wasn't a ninja academy, nor did it follow the civilization of the Five Great Nations—it looked exactly like ordinary modern society.
Clearly, this was nothing like the world of *Naruto Shippuden*.
But this didn't stump Shinta Uchiha, a man of unparalleled wisdom. He saw the truth in an instant.
The answer to this bizarre situation was obvious: he hadn't transmigrated to the planet where Naruto and Sasuke lived. Instead, he'd landed in another planet within the Naruto universe—one that was being invaded by the Otsutsuki clan!
Speaking of the inherently evil Otsutsuki.
"?"
Shinta Uchiha's gaze locked firmly on his deskmate, the girl named Yuki Tsukishiro.
White hair, a detached expression, an air of mystery, and labeled the final boss by the system.
So, by that logic, Yuki Tsukishiro was the Otsutsuki sent to invade this planet?
It sounded logical enough, but something felt off.
Shinta Uchiha fell into confusion.
But the confusion came and went in a flash. Staring at Yuki's back, he had a sudden vision: the white-haired girl spreading a strange substance to all of humanity.
This was a warning from the Uchiha Stress-Resistant Physique, the special bloodline the system had granted him.
*Huff.*
Shinta Uchiha took a deep breath.
Fine, he'd been wrong. Yuki Tsukishiro *was* an Otsutsuki, and the substance she was spreading was definitely chakra (the Witch Factor).
He never thought the system would dump him right next to the final boss at the start.
That must be why the system bailed—afraid he'd run away!
"Idiotic system." Shinta Uchiha mentally left a one-star review for the already uninstalled system.
Deserter system! Do you think running into an Otsutsuki at the start will stop me from living the OP protagonist's dream?
Watch me hide right next to the final boss, grind secretly, and then take her down hard!
"..."
As a kind great witch—wait, no, an inherently evil Otsutsuki—Yuki Tsukishiro had no desire to speak.
Class passed in silence between the two of them.
The bell rang for break.
Shinta Uchiha planned to head to a private spot like the bathroom to test just how strong the Uchiha bloodline the system gave him was.
But before he could move, he noticed a crowd of classmates heading straight for his seat.
His feet, which had been about to leave the ground, froze solid to the floor.
You foolish mortals! Didn't I say I'm a cold heartthrob who doesn't want to talk or make friends?
But if you *insist* on being friends with me… hmph, fine, I guess I can reluctantly play this little campus house game with you.
Shinta Uchiha lazily closed his eyes.
Oh no, oh no—how should I greet these enthusiastic new friends?
Should I keep up the cold persona… or wait, is that just my real personality?
That works, right? But if I don't talk much, will I hurt their feelings?
Maybe I should be a little warmer?
Shinta Uchiha had already mapped out how to make friends and win everyone over in his head.
But the crowd wasn't coming for him. Carrying buckets, their target was Yuki Tsukishiro, sitting not far from him.
Bucket, then… dousing.
The water soaked Yuki's small frame and her desk, splashing onto Shinta Uchiha's clothes and shoes as it sloshed.
Drenched.
"What is the meaning of this?" Shinta Uchiha's eyes snapped open, his pitch-black pupils seeming to roar with unbridled fury.
"Hah, isn't it obvious?"
"The new kid's such a weirdo!"
Laughter rang out, and a sharp-tongued girl spoke up.
No one asked you.
Shinta Uchiha shot the girl a glare, then turned to Yuki and asked, "What's going on here?"
Inherently evil Otsutsuki, what are you up to?
"..."
Yuki didn't answer. She just kept her head down, a calm smile on her face, staring at her desk as if counting the lines on its surface.
The bucket sat on her head, water dripping from her soaked hair onto her slender legs, covered in white stockings.
"Huff...Tell me what happened."
Shinta Uchiha refused to back down. With a look that said he wouldn't let it go until he got an answer, he questioned Yuki Tsukishiro once again.
Was she being bullied?
Impossible. How could the final boss, labeled as such by the system, be picked on by random NPCs?
This was as ridiculous as a genin taking down a Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.
"Pfft...Is the new kid blind? Or is this just another kind of hypocrisy—seeing it, but looking away?"
"This is bullying."
"No, it's not bullying at all! We're doing this for Yuki's own good, we're just helping her take a bath!"
"After all...Yuki smells terrible. She needs to be washed with water."
"That's right, it's for everyone's sake!"
"New kid, you wanna join in?"
"C'mon, join us?"
